Oh, my mistake. In 04-07 All i did was refi's. Then the market changed, and in 08 I started doing modifications, refis and purchases. I no longer do modifications
I would say now I am at 70% purchases and 30% refiis. Refis are slowly making there way back and is slightly increasing my percentages. I am averaging 10-15 deals a month.

do you think home prices will continue to drop in So Cal? i'm thinking it will be the way it is and/or worse for the next ~3 years.

We have slowed alot with the drop. It is still goig down, but not as bad. With the foreclosure and short sales, those affect home values and continue to reduce values. I feel that we will not recover for at least 3-5 years. It will take many years for the equity to build back up.

Nice.. Is it fair to assume that your commissions average 1% like us Canadians?

my commision is normally 2-3% per deal. Loan officers are limited to 3% per RESPA guidelines.

That seems kinda high, I know one of the brokers that one of my buyers used showed him the wholesale price sheet when they locked and he made .75% on a $550k loan amount (he'll do lower loan amounts for 1-1.50%). I believe that he had a 80-20 split with his broker. Are you your own broker or do you have to split any of your commission?

I am a broker. Closed my company last year. Went to work for a lender. Put my brokers license as inactive and use my NMLO license for the current company. I average 1-1.5 points on the front and 1-1.5 points on the back. The higher the loan amount normally a lower percentage is charged, because the dollar amount is a bit more of a shock to the borrower.
Edit: Just realized you said wholesale price sheet. I am on the retail end of it now. More money in rebate, because we lend our own money.

If I need to give credits to make loans work then I will, and my percentage will be lower. From paying for appprasials, credits to closing, whatever we need to make the deal happpen, etc. There are some deals were I make no money, but a great referral for the future.

I am at a 80/20 split with my company.

Gotcha, it makes sense to charge 2%+ if the loan amounts are in the less than $200k because whether it's a $100k loan or a $600k loan it is basically the same amount of work and the small loan amounts tend to be a bit more difficult to close than the higher loan amounts due to stronger borrowers.

If it is a high balance loan then you have less room to work with and the 1% of 500k stands out more than 1% of 200k. Plus being on the retail side, rather than wholesale where I was; I make more rebate. Since the company I work for is a direct lender. I sent you a PM.
